i got 6000k's in mine but i don't have pics on this computer. they look good and are so much better then the stockies, i haven't used my high beams since i put them in. i'll try n upload pics tonight if i get home at a reasonable hour. it's definitely worth while doing it.

I put 4300k HIDs in my r33 s2 - They are GREAT for visibility but I'm going to change them for some 6000k bulbs because I want the Jay Dee Em brue corour!

I have mine adjusted quite low but still get people 'flashing' me thinking I have my high beams on. Another reason I'm going to the 6000k

did you change the internal lensing at all with the S1 33 headlights? and do the old yellow lenses effect the colouring of the lights at all?

I polished up my headlights so they arent yellow, mine r like white but they only 8k, as someone asked b4 u can get 12k but they r like purple and arent as gud for visibility...most ppl hav 6 or 8k

Search "Hid headlight" on Google images and you'll find that the 6k are the brightest of them all, the others will give you a different look (colour) but if it's brightness you are after, stick with the 6K.

There's also a thread here about polishing your headlights to get rid of the yellow

R34's come with 4300Ks from factory apparently and that's pure white (no blue hues) .. if you want slight blue hue get 6000Ks ..anything above that, you sacrifice brightness and paint a defect target on yourself.

I got 8k's and get pulled over twice a week not one cops mentioned my headlights ever...but they to busy checking exhaust, engine, suspension and my huge sticker on the windscreen lol thats enuf to stop them i guess

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
